"Contrary to replacement theology that sees Israel's role as fulfilled in the Church, God has a purpose and a plan for the Jewish people, and He will not break His Covenant."
My guest is veteran CBN News Middle East Bureau Chief, Chris Mitchell, a journalist who has spent decades reporting from the frontlines in Jerusalem and surrounding regions. He has witnessed wars, peace talks, terror attacks, and prophetic turning points up close. Few people have had a closer view of the unfolding events in Israel - and fewer still can explain them with such clarity and biblical perspective.
He has produced two fascinating and important video series that every believer and pastor should see:
Israel Under Fire: History, Prophecy, and What You Need to Know
This 7-part series equips you with biblical, historical, and prophetic insight to answer one of the most pressing questions of our time: Why Israel, and why does it matter to you? Through this lens of faith, truth, and prophecy, you’ll see the Middle East as never before.
Exploring the Land of the Bible: A cinematic, faith-anchoring journey through Israel
More than a year in the making, it's designed to take viewers to the very places where Jesus walked and where the Bible comes alive. Filmed on location across the land of Scripture, this series connects the pages of the Bible to real places, real history, and real faith.

He is also the author of Dateline Jerusalem: An Eyewitness Account of Prophecies Unfolding in the Middle East and Destination Jerusalem: ISIS, “Convert or Die,” Christian Persecution, and Preparing for the Days Ahead.
